What cuold he have possibly been telling Willie? I cant think of a viable explanation. Its the umpires judgment whether to call a strike if he's hit over the plate, but if you move into a pitch or dont try to get out of the way, everyone knows its called a ball. And he lunged into the pitch. It doesnt matter if youre trying to bunt. Ive never seen that before.

It's UNFREAKINGACCEPTABLE!!!!! I can't believe Tommy and Wille didn't argue that further. Is this umps effin' blind??? I can't wait to see what other crap he may pull tonight.[right][snapback]181492[/snapback][/right]

Tommy was making an argument and you could tell he was mad. But Willie.....man Willie....that guy is just as dull as it gets. He just stood there looking lost. He is a poor coach if he can't defend his players. My damn grandpa has more energy than this bozo.

I wasn't a huge fan of Art Howe, but I think even he would made a bigger argument than Willie, and that's scary.

What do you know... pitcher throws 6 balls to start an inning and strands a runner at 3rd. I swear, why does Willie keep making them bunt and thus really hurting the teams chances to score runs?![right][snapback]181533[/snapback][/right]

I agree. In that situation I let Offerman, signed for his hitting ability, swing the bat. Normally I like small ball, but with the count so in your favor the bunt makes little sense to me.
